November 14, 2025 – The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix launched a Supercar Sweepstakes in 2023 with a 70th Anniversary Z06. That was followed the next year with another Z06. Today, we are thrilled to announce our next Sweepstakes – a GT40 MkI from Superformance! The PVGP hosted the 60th GT40 Reunion earlier this summer during our event. Poster artist Todd Cook created a stunning poster depicting the 1969 LeMans winning GT40 in Gulf Oil livery with the winning number 6. It created such a stir that we decided to offer a Superformance GT40 MKI in our sweepstakes.
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a meticulously crafted Superformance GT40 Mk I, valued at a quarter of a million dollars—a true piece of automotive race history! Enter our exclusive sweepstakes for your chance to drive away in this iconic car. It’s track-ready and fully road-capable.
This exceptional GT40 pays homage to the iconic number 6 GT40, driven by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver, to one of the most thrilling victories over the Porsche 908 at the 1969 Le Mans. Our GT40 is an authentic continuation model, with the majority of its components interchangeable with the original, including the monocoque chassis. It features the legendary Gulf Livery, showcasing the signature blue and orange paint, orange-painted wheels, twin-pin rear clam, and period-correct detailing such as Gulf roundels and aluminum-painted door eyebrows.
It is powered by a 427 ci Windsor-based stroker engine equipped with Weber carburetors, Gurney-Weslake valve covers, and silver powder-coated pipes.

Gulf Oil – Pittsburgh Connection
Pittsburgh was the headquarters for Gulf Oil, a major player in GT40 racing history. Gulf Oil’s Executive Vice President Grady Davis sponsored the GT40 racing team with JW Automotive Engineering in the 1960s. The famous number 6 GT40, bearing chassis 1075, achieved back-to-back Le Mans wins in 1968 and 1969, clad in the iconic Gulf Oil blue and orange race livery.
